Personal name in Shaphan's paternal identification · dominant
In 2 Chronicles 34:8, the proper noun identifies Shaphan as the son of the named person when he is sent with others to strengthen the house of the LORD. In 2 Kings 22:3, the APB likewise renders Shaphan as the son of the named person as the king sends him to the house of the LORD.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the name in the paternal phrase "Shaphan son of Azaliah." This identifies the clause-level presentation rather than a separate English rendering claim.
